Meanwhile, the creationist explanation is that they got here by clinging to volcanic debris erupting from Mt. Ararat. No I'm not kidding.
The fact that we were able to predict the existence of fossil marsupials in Antarctica using evolutionary theory and then find them, and THEN have that line up with DNA placing Microbiotheria as sister to Australidelphia will never not blow my socks off.

#OTD in 1859, Charles Darwin published his landmark work, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Our understanding of life and living things has never been the same since. #Darwin #Evolution #OriginOfSpecies 🧪

[NEW VIDEO] In my latest, I apply the first principles of archaeology to the GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA. It’s a real banger.
It’s got evidence you’ve never seen before, some fun debunks on fake archaeologists, and it features an interview with Dr Zahi Hawass. 🏺🏺🏺

Great work by Ben Smee in bringing this terrible problem out into the light. The crimes are shocking enough, but the police response and Harsley's piss weak comments are dreadful. We're not really serious about dealing with DV, are we?

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals.
This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Creationists say SO many things and I'll think "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" based solely on stuff I learned in second year undergrad. At this point I think I need to make a tier list.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Every time I see one of those tournament bracket graphs I just think, damn, that is a well-resolved phylogeny. Sure would like to see the bootstrap values on that bad boy.

If you're a transphobe AND a creationist you don't get to talk about 'basic biology'. You're 170 years behind the curve, don't fucking pretend you care about biology or facts or science.
